| Research Abstract |
To investigate innovative library services for learning and teaching, we visited several reserch universities(University of Washington, Harvard University, Cornell University, UCLA), comprehensive universities(Wayen State University, California State University at Long Beach) and liberarl arts colleges (Oxidential College, Regis University) in the United States, and conducted interviews with chief librarians of these universities and colleges in March/September 2001 and March 2002. Reports on the ovearsea research are in the process of being written, based on the materials and information gathered. A survey on the role of library in academic reformations was carried on Japanese university and college libraries in February Questionnaires sent to 629 academic libraries, which fall into four divisions: impact of academic reformations on libraries, library services for learning and treaching, digital library services and information resource policies on campus. 470 questionnaires(74.7%) were returned, and opinions and suggestions on future of academic library services were offered from many college and university libraries. Findings of the survey is available on Web(http://www.cl.aoyama.ac.jp/~tnozue/ugl/).
